The old adage \u2018people are a business\u2019 best asset<\/em>\u2019 continues to ring true today. Getting the right person in the right role is essential for your bottom line; morale, productivity and ultimately profitability depend on it. It can be difficult to tell how someone will truly perform in a role from their r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and selection criteria screening and interviewing alone. Below are five tips to make sure your next recruitment efforts work for you<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don\u2019t wait for a Vacancy to Look for Candidates<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Be proactive in your recruitment. Don\u2019t just send a canned response about keeping their details on file when someone submits their resume \u2013 take the time to read it and perhaps even invite the person in for a discussion. Even if you don\u2019t have a role for them right now (or budget to create one), you never know what the future may hold for both of you and you can save a lot of time down the track if you have some qualified potential candidates you can canvass first when an opening does come up.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Ask Quirky Interview Questions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      You\u2019re trying to build rapport and understand their personality as much as you\u2019re trying to ascertain their ability to perform a role, so use the interview to your advantage. Make the people you\u2019re interviewing have to think about their answers before they respond. If you throw a couple of left field questions in there, it will give an opportunity to see how they think on their feet and react to difficult or uncomfortable situations as well as a chance to get to know them better. One of my personal favorites is, \u201cHow many jellybeans can fit into a car?<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Consider Psychometric Testing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Leading human resources companies can give you access to cutting edge, industry best practice digital psychology testing applications. A psychometric assessment will give you a better understanding of who the person you\u2019re considering is and how they work. When you combine psychometric testing with interviewing and reference checking you will find that you see an improvement in the long term performance and overall retention of the staff you\u2019re employing.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Be Known As an Employer of Choice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Make people want to work for you and you will find you start attracting a higher standard of candidate. While there are formal awards and recognition programs you can follow, improving your reputation as an employer can be as simple as incorporating some \u2018people\u2019 and human resources angles in your overall marketing and communications strategies.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Make It About The Person Not The Role<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you find a candidate who is a great fit for your business and comes highly recommended but probably isn\u2019t quite right for the role you advertised, don\u2019t lose them just because you have reservations about their suitability for the position. Job descriptions and responsibilities can be tweaked. This is an important thing to keep in mind for your current employees too; don\u2019t risk losing great people if there\u2019s a way you can make the role more suitable to their strengths and career goals.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
